Steve Bate@steve@social.technoetic.com: @silverpill @benpate For this specific BYODomain use case, the WebFinger service is not the host for any AP tenants and their associated users/actors. Therefore, it's not related to the multitenancy topic. It's more like a fediHandle-to-URI "redirect". In the related concepts discussion, the FEP is referring to BYODomain in the context of ActivityPub actor ids.

@steve @benpate Bring Your Own Domain is when you use your own domain for IDs/WebFinger while someone else hosts an instance (software). This means an instance will have more than one domain attached to it.

>I've brought my own domain to my self-hosted Mastodon server instance, but that doesn't make it an implementation (or instance) with multi-tenant capability.

Yes, it's your instance and your domain. No "multi".

@steve @benpate I said

>domain for IDs/WebFinger

Of course, ActivityPub actor IDs should use user's domain too
